Dr. Weiru Shao

After testing with an audiologist, who explained everything she was doing without my having to ask, I was referred to Dr. Shao to discuss hearing aids. A quick look in both ears and he said hearing aids wouldn't help. The fact that the news might be - and was - upsetting to me was of no importance. It was clear Dr. Shao's aim was to get out of there as fast as possible, despite my having waited for him for an hour. He asked me where I'd previously had ear surgery, and why it hadn't been done in both ears - as if it's appropriate to make a patient worry about prior care on your first meeting, when it hasn't been established that you're going to be their doctor. I found him to be condescending and disinterested. What I don't understand is how can he be so late for appointments when they're only 5 minutes long?

This was probably the most interesting Dr.'s visit I had in my entire life. Before seeing Dr. Shao, I was told by the Audiologist that my 5 yo son had a high frequency hearing loss on his right ear and was referred to Dr. Shao. Expecting to get an explanation and full discussion on the reasons and implications of this hear loss we went to see Dr. Shao for our appointment. We were greeted by a very friendly nurse and were told to wait for Dr. Shao. He came looked at my son's ear for around 10-15 seconds and told us that he will need to see us every 3 months and if things don't change the frequency of the visits will decrease. Wrote the same thing on a paper and attempted to leave. The entire visit was probably around 2 minutes up to that point. I couldn't believe that he didn't even ask if we had any questions or had the decency to show us the results or explain them. I was obviously very frustrated with his approach and stopped him and asked him to show me the results. He prints the re

I asked him to explain the results after which he offered a brief explanation. I am not sure what his problem is but someone needs to convince him that he is there to offer human care and support to people who have no idea about his specialty. This is especially very wrong when the patient is a child. I would not recommend him to anyone, but especially if you have kids please avoid him for your own sake and sanity.
